[QUOTE="adam71, post: 1952891, member: 549079"] Out of all the young talent they have out there he was the young guy that was struggling the most. Other guys that were down in AAA were on rehab assignments are under big league contracts so they had to bring them up.\ I tell you, what a difference a couple of years makes for the Dodgers. They went from having the game's BEST closer (Gagne still holds the record for saves in 2 consecutive saves and the record for most consecutive without blowing 1) and great setup men. Sanchez, Brazoban and a couple of great left handers to name a couple. A very good starting rotation but the catch was the Dodgers had NO hitting to go with that pitching. Now here it is 2 years later and only the Mets have scored more runs than the Dodgers in the national league and their pitching staff leaves alot to be desired. The bullpen is horiffic and can't hold a lead for nothing. They are quite the symbol of irony at this point. Will be interesting to see what happens with them the rest of the season. With the younger guys they're bringing up this year they should be looking good for hitting talent. OF Andre Ethier, C Russ Martin, OF Matt Kemp just to name a few. They are an interesting franchise at this point. [/QUOTE]
